Weird Market turns 15 years old. From its 12th edition on, Weird Market is much more than animation, video games and new media, including new sectors such as board games or comics. That is why it becomes WEIRD MARKET, a new name that welcomes great ideas and IPs regardless of their origin.

Weird Market organizes the 15th edition of the Weird International Animation, Video Games and New Media Market inValencia, Spain, from September 26th to October 21st 2023.
